Happy New Year - Welcome 2010

Well, I am to old to bring in the new year at midnight - so I do the second best thing... I bring it in when I go to bed. Milk Man gets a kiss - the kids get an extra squeeze and I get some shut eye.. What are you all doing for the new year?? I plan to loose some weight.. Milk Man wants me to gain some if you get my drift, but I am getting to OLD for this...I dont know if I can handle another little one, as much as I would LOVE ONE!!

For this post, I want everyone to describe their first memory of New Years. What was the first New Year that you remember. My first one I was about 5 or 6 and my folks had people over. They had a '6 pack' of Pepsi and 2 tombstone pizzas for 7 people.. that was such a treat! What happened to things being simple? Why do we think that we need to be so over indulged? That little things like a couple of pizza's just isnt enough... ok, I will shut up. This is not ment to be a speech about economics!! Do any of you remember Christmas's when you were very young? I remember lots of things that most people dont.. dumb things - like the tree topper on my grandma's tree..her old ornaments that at the time I thought were SO ugly but now cherrish them dearly. SO - I am going to bed my dear friends!

May God the King of all bless you in the new year with all of the best!!!

Winter wonderland.....

There is so much going on around here that I dont know where to start... first there is this...

We have had so much snow - it is so pretty yet its SO MUCH WORK when you farm. We had a beautiful Christmas. The kids had a great time, of course the Milk Man and I had a great time.. **snicker snicker giggle giggle** We are still farming and thanks to all of your prayers - we may be able to stay doing so...Thank God!!! its going to be very hard, if it happens - but we are working for it pretty hard. So thanks for your prayers and gifts and love and support and more love.. Thank you Dean and Amanda for the WONDERFUL gifts that you sent to our boys when they needed them. There will never be enough thank yous given to you for that. Tina - your a God send - what you did for me and my family is more appreciated than you can possibly know. Your the kind of gal that I want on my side if there is ever a fight.. your a true friend in every sense of the word...

SO - I am going to go to bed and try to warm up. I may have some hot chocolate and snuggle with the dog for a few minutes first and I like to watch the tree at night and right now the house is REALLY quiet! That is something that doesnt happen to often...

Anyway - I have to get to bed - getting more tired by the second. Here is a Christmas shot for you all...

Does this look like a baby??? me thinks he's a little boy now - but I am not admitting to anything!

Where o where have my readers all gone...

Away... I have pushed them all away... dang nab it.. BUT, I hope they will stay with me just a little longer before completely pulling the plug! Things are looking up and I want someone here to share it with when it does!!

Is everyone ready for Christmas? I am.... NOT - SO SO SO NOT!
One thing I am ready for is this...



OOPS! Sorry - wrong picture! That is what the Milk Man is ready for.... me being 'ready to freshen' at any moment... for some reason he likes me barefoot and pregnant... ok, maybe not the barefoot..but defiantly the pregnant.

This is what I am ready for...

For it to be over!!

UGH... I am moving in with Mrs. Mom and the insanity crew... sis - hope you got a bed, heck I will settle for a recliner... maybe just a rug thrown on the floor.. It was warm today, if you call 13 degrees warm. SO - what is everyone doing for Christmas?
